Devices, methods and computer program products are provided for dispatching messages to recipients and for prioritizing the dispatch of generic-recipient messages. The device and methods are generally automatic and, thus, require minimal manual intervention by system administrators. Further, the devices and methods are capable of supporting both local and remote message dispatching so as to optimize the system and achieve a lowest cost alternative. In addition, the devices and methods of the present invention dispatch messages over various communication means, such as short-range wireless, Internet, cellular networks and the like.

A system for enabling a user to wirelessly download desired information in the form of a offline website without having to maintain a live Internet connection. Information is delivered from an active or passive source to a device via short-range wireless communication. This information is automatically interpreted by the device to form an offline version of a full-scale Internet website. The user may view the offline version of the website, and if additional information is desired, download or upload additional information at a time more convenient to maintain a live Internet connection.

A system for displaying a graphical indication of a proximately located device is disclosed. When a mobile terminal (e.g., a mobile telephone) equipped with short-range communications (e.g., Bluetooth or wi-fï) as well as conventional long-range communications capabilities comes within range of set top box (e.g., a digital broadcast receiver), the set top box (STB) overlays an icon over the broadcast screen image indicating that a mobile terminal is present that can be used as a back channel to the cable operator. The overlaid icon may be presented in differing colors to indicate various characteristics of the mobile terminal, e.g., a type of the mobile terminal (phone vs. PDA) or a capability of the mobile terminal (e.g., ability to establish a GPRS or other data connection). A user of the STB can then use interactive services offered by the cable operator, and deliver interactive selections and commands to the cable operator via the mobile terminal back channel.

A method and a system for administering digital collectible cards for mobile terminals. The method comprises storing a digital collectible card on a server, associating at the server the digital collectible card with information indicating the owner of the card, accessing the server with the wireless user terminal via wireless communication, supplying identification information about the user of the wireless user terminal to the server, and transferring the digital collectible card to the wireless user terminal having identified the user as the owner of the card.

A system, method and computer program for ordering, paying for and delivering goods and services from a content provider to a user which assures the content provider that he will be paid and that assures the user that he will receive the content at an agreed upon price. Thus, this system, method and computer program facilitates business transactions occurring between parties who do not know each other by using a trusted third party to either take the user's order, deliver to the user's order, and/or bill the user the correct amount for the goods and services contracted for. This system, method and computer program relies on the Global System for Mobile (GSM) communications system to authenticate the user and provide algorithms and modules that are used to generate cipher keys and service responses so as to insure the content provider will be paid and that the user will not be overcharged. Further, these algorithms and modules are used to encrypt important information so as to prevent third parties from intercepting this important information. Five business model modules are detailed with numerous variations possible to accomplish the task of facilitating business transactions between parties that do not necessarily know or trust each other.

A method allows a user of a mobile terminal (10) to participate in an interactive service relating to multimedia programming. A software application is stored in the mobile terminal (10). The software application is launched so that it is prepared to receive information concerning the interactive service from a server. Upon receipt of this information, the software application utilizes a stored user interface (80) to prompt the user of the mobile terminal (10). The software application utilizes previous received information concerning the user so that when the information is received, the user interface (80) prompting the user is provided automatically and without the need for user approval.

A method and system are provided for providing a seamless link between a mobile terminal and application software stored on a server. An icon corresponding to the application software is displayed on a display of the mobile terminal. In response to a user selecting the icon, the mobile terminal downloads the application software from the server and automatically runs the application software. The mobile terminal may also be configured to remove one more applications from the mobile terminal to free up enough memory for the application software.
